It was relatively smooth.  It took a long time to get the tenant's parents to sign, but they finally did.  Old people and technology.....

There wasn't any cost because Docusign allows a couple free uses.  This year when I have new tenants, I'll have to pay for the service if the prospective renters are out of town again.

George.  I'm in Chicago.  I didn't go down to ISU to check out their dorm rooms, even though I am aware that it is well within my rights to do so.  I did run credit and background checks for all 3 students as well as their co-signors.  Everything checked out.  

Thanks a ton for the advice.  I'm learning here!!!

@Ted.  Thanks a bunch.  This should make the process pretty easy.  Do you know how much it is typically through DocuSign?  I didn't use an agent because I purchased the home directly from my landlord.  

Hey everyone.  Brand new member.  I bought my first property in Chicago (A two flat) in February, and I have just approved my first tenants for June 1st.  They are graduating from college in May from Illinois State, and I want to send them a lease via DocuSign since they all live 3 hours away.  Is it as simple as scanning the newest Chicago City Lease and appropriate disclosures and sending them the link through DocuSign?   The process signing the purchase contracts when I bought the property was incredibly convenient.  I'm hoping the lease process could be equally as convenient.  

Any feedback for a newbie would be awesome.  

Thanks,

Adam
